Deanna

Deannabegan her journey with yoga over 10 years ago. Movement + nature have been an important aspect of Deanna’s life since her childhood days of team sports, baton twirling, gymnastic and playing in the woods. As an adult the idea of movement transformed from team sports to fitness training, sprint triathlons, rock climbing, Stand-up Paddleboarding, and her introduction to yoga. Yoga at that time was as ‘just another workout’ that quickly grew into a journey of self-love + personal growth as well as awareness with compassion.

Realizing now that her connection to nature and movement has always been her mindfulness practice. After years of having a career in Social Work, Deanna, left her job to work in the outdoor industry and travel. This conscious decision brought her to Thailand where she enrolled in a month-long yoga and meditation certification course. After receiving her 200hour Yoga Teacher certification, Deanna moved back to Winston-Salem to start her own business. She focuses on making yoga more accessible and appealing, building community and enhancing mindfulness.

Deanna enjoys working with beginner yogis as well as athletes. She focuses on building transferable strength, fluid movement and mindful balance; working out the imbalances in one’s body in order to create a more functional and less injury prone container to live in.

Deanna has been a certified personal fitness trainer for 20+ years, is an Integrative Nutritional Health Coach and a Find Your Edge Life Coach.
